Firefighter Martin’s report says he was "cleaning up after lunch, heard the rookie FF Jones call Lt. Davis to come to the watch desk … it was urgent," according to the report.

Firefighter Martin said he "heard nothing else until the run was dispatched."

According to a city investigation, firefighter Garrett Murphy, who also faces punishment, told Lt. Davis about the incident.

However, his report contradicts firefighter Martin’s report that stated: "FF/EMT Garrett Murphy confirms that after speaking with Probationer Jones at the watch desk, 'I went back to the kitchen and told FF Dave Dennis and FF George Martin that a rookie had a man down across the street.'"

The department alleges that firefighter Martin "showed virtually no concern for this patient" and "rather than initiate a response, Martin did absolutely nothing," according to the report.
